Anyone here for talking about why they like Augustine? Personally, I'm don't know nearly as much as our founder, but I do identify with his opposition to the Manichees and also I am a huge fan of Monica. I sometimes think I like her more than Augustine himself. She's one of my heroes of the faith. <br/> <br/>Bill</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://augustin-tradition.tribe.net">Augustinians</a> - 0 replies </div> Sun, 07 Mar 2004 21:13:07 GMT http://augustin-tradition.tribe.net/thread/4c0222ed-ed29-4e55-81e0-03f3453283ea Bill 2004-03-07T21:13:07Z http://augustin-tradition.tribe.net/thread/7f242806-4b3e-4b63-ba39-5cc0953313ba <div>Dear fellow Augustinians, <br/> <br/>Greetings! <br/> <br/>Indubitably, there is no more important and influential Augustinian between Augustine himself and Thomas Aquinas other than Anselm. Nor is there any argument for the existence of God more debated (or any pice of philosophy AT ALL more written about) than his 'ontological Argument' from Proslogion, chapter 2. <br/> <br/>The philosophically-astute on this list will be well aware that Luther's stress on forensic justification comes primarily from St. Anselm's seminal work, 'Cur Deus Homo,' or "Why God became man." This and the rest of Anselm's excellent works are all translated into English and made available to download for free at http://www.cla.umn.edu/jhopkins/ <br/> <br/>I have read many thousands of pages of philosophy in my life, and there is no other philosophical theologian whose works I find more enlightening, orthodox, easy to read and (if you can believe it) even fun to read. So, they come highly recommended. They are PDF files, so you may want to download them from a fast connection and use Acrobat reader. If you have a laptop, plug it in at a place with a hardwire connection and download his entire corpus to your laptop, so as to meditate on it while waiting in lines, on public transportation, or in waiting rooms. <br/> <br/>Grace and peace to all... <br/> <br/>Sincerely, <br/> <br/>J.W.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://augustin-tradition.tribe.net">Augustinians</a> - 1 reply </div> Wed, 14 Jan 2004 23:28:02 GMT http://augustin-tradition.tribe.net/thread/7f242806-4b3e-4b63-ba39-5cc0953313ba VileRaiment 2004-01-14T23:28:02Z http://augustin-tradition.tribe.net/thread/32d84243-9e15-43c8-8684-b312478d1d8e <div>Dear fellow Augustinians, <br/> <br/>Greetings! <br/> <br/>James J.
